This class will be a class for poetry aficionadas and -nados and those who always wanted to become ones but never found the right poems for inspiration. This is because we will read, enjoy and analyze some of the greatest poems ever written in the English language - or in any language at that if you´ll ask me.
Poems by John Donne, John Milton, Robert Herrick, Andrew Marvell, and others will be in the focus and be analyzed both as the beautiful poems they are but also as cultural representations of the historical period between the late Middle Ages and the beginning enlightenment and some of its major socio-political developments.
CPs will be awarded for becoming an expert for one author/poem plus active participation in general.
A reader with the poems to be read will be available in the first session.
